So my group buys a two-license product costing over $20,000 (yes, COUNT THOSE ZEROS) that we've been trying to get for the better part of two weeks and... wait for it... they mail it... by... Fedex "I'm a cheap bastard" Saver class.
What the fuck?
It took DAYS to get the vendor into our accounting system, DAYS to get the massive PO approved, DAYS MORE to get it processed on their side and now... I have to wait DAYS for Fedex to deliver it?
And if they had paid an additional $15 or $20 I would have it in my hands NOW and not next monday or so.
Un-fucking-believable.
So I sit here essentially playing with myself waiting for it.
Tomorrow I'll have some programming I can do on the project, once some of Daniel's stuff gets checkpointed... you know, hooking up to his API, fixing up the main(), adding interrupt vectors. That should keep me busy for about two hours.
Ah well, on the bright side, I have official permission for a "10%" project that has huge potential to (a) be really interesting and (b) open up a new set of markets for our system.
So that's good.
